Discussions: For each week, you are required to participate in 1-5 discussions. The purpose of discussion is to stimulate scholarly thought and reflection among class members. Unless otherwise designated by the instructor, DISCUSSION MUST BE POSTED BY 11:59 P.M. ON THE DAY STATED IN THE WEEKLY AGENDA. The online environment allows you to work at your convenience; thus late discussion, e-mailed discussion, and make-up work are not accepted under any circumstances. Discussion is graded S or U. Satisfactory earns you full points. Unsatisfactory earns no points. There is nothing in between. You are graded on your initial response to the discussion question. This response must be of high quality in format and substance. You are encouraged to interact and respond to the postings of your classmates based on your own discretion. However, you must submit one response to a classmate per week. Failure to do so without an acceptable excuse will result in zero points for all discussions of that week. Keep in mind that the emphasis in this class is on quality not quantity. In terms of format, (1) use the person’s name you are replying to, (2) reiterate specifically what part of his/her message you are replying to (you might want to “copy & paste” and use quote marks or use the “quote original message” option), and (3) be
In this course activity, you will participate in a peer discussion about how literary or other artistic pursuits and governmental, religious, political, or social structures affect one another.

Have another student record the group’s response and choose a third student to report the information gathered to the class in a discussion.

Beep! Beep! Beep! Right now I’m thinking to myself that why do I have to get up so stinking early for school. I just want to keep sleeping but I can’t because of two reasons. The first reason is obvious because I have to get up for school, and the second reason is that I had to go number one undoubtedly bad. The stretch receptors in my bladder were screaming at me to go. They were screaming at me because my bladder was full of 800 milliliters of urine. My bladder was so full because my kidneys were trying to keep my blood pH levels normal so they were flushing out excess H+ ions. The only way I knew this is because the stretch receptors sent this message through the nervous system (aka the brain (the control center)) The nervous system sends and receives electric messages through the spinal cord and especially the brain. The nervous system receives and sends messages through the receptors in the sense organs. The nervous system is a part of everything in your body because it helps with homeostasis in every organ system including itself. Once I received this message I got up quickly and ran to the bathroom and relived myself. [1]
1. What is the nurse's highest priority for a patient experiencing sleep deprivation? What would we teach them about this? What treatment would be expected? Safety would be highest priority; sleep deprivation causes psychomotor deficits. Interventions that can help with sleep deprivation would be avoiding stimulating activities in the hours before bed. Avoid exercise, caffeine, and screen time just before bed. It’s also a good idea to avoid eating a large meal, as this can interfere with healthy sleep. Create a comfortable sleep environment. One medication that the patient can be prescribed on would be Zolpidem is a short-acting hypnotic that will help the patient initiate sleep and awaken without untoward symptoms of drowsiness. Also, Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and galanin are sleep-promoting neurotransmitters that can be used as a treatment.
This is important for those students are they can contribute when they are comfortable sharing personal experiences and beliefs and when they are comfortable to use the English language thus avoiding confrontation with the teacher. For students that have difficult behaviour the intention of using class discussion to provide a space where they can learn to empathise with other people in the classroom and engage with the discussion as an outlet for their need of attention. Class discussions are used widely because they can provide benefits on so many different levels for classroom management and for differentiation.
The National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) is the primary professional organization for school psychologists in the U.S. NASP is dedicated to improving the mental health and education of students.
Lastly, the discussion and the presentation is one of good part in this class. In terms of discussion. We read a lot of book and watch the documentary in class. We talk about books in class. Everyone in class gives a good opinion and new perspective to each

This class so far to me has been a learning experience. Theory wasn’t always a strong point for me, but as the semester moves forward, I see myself getting better at grasping the concepts. The Discussion Forum Questions are useful in the fact that it furthers my knowledge in theory and what we are learning that week. I get to see how other people are thinking about theory. It gives me the opportunity to compare and contrast my thinking to their thinking. All of my postings have been up by Tuesday because I want to give my classmates appropriate time to make comments. I try to put thorough thought into my discussion posts, and use references to back my posts up. I also try to respond to my peer’s postings in a timely manner. I feel overall when providing responses to the assigned Discussion Forum Questions that I do well and deserve a 1/1 in this section.
I have used the feedback from my peers and instructor in this course to gather my thoughts and share ideas in which may increase my knowledge and confidence to becoming a better role model in the future for my students. Whenever constructive feedback is given this will improve new skills and developments even from my classmates and instructor it helps to perform and analyze on how to respond to questions. It is great to be challenge in which supports us to be critical thinkers.
Each week we will have an online discussion of the material assigned – text chapters, videos, audios, articles, etc. ‐‐by your instructor. These discussions are for the purpose of exploring the assignments, the ideas presented, your
